Done is so much better than perfect

I'm off to drop my quilt and Jason's quilt off at the fair. After I finished the hand stippling (never again!), I decided to quilt some flowers inside the basket/cake stand. Since the quilt is so scrappy and colorful, I decided to put to use all those colored quilting threads I recently inherited. I'm not sure it was the best move, especially since some of the lighter colors don't show up, but oh well. (Who was that from MyQuiltBlog.com who sent those my way? I am drawing a blank. Anyway, thanks again!).

And it is DONE! Can you tell that I am excited to be free to focus on other projects?

On the road

We hit the road after work yesterday. We spent the night at my mother-in-laws last night. For those of you who followed my old blog, she is looking and feeling MUCH better. I'm so glad I prepared all this handwork to do on this trip. I've been working on securing the scrappy blue binding on the Crumb Cake Stand quilt for my sister, and I like how it is looking. I hope to have it done by the time we get to her house tomorrow afternoon.

Well, the road is calling! I'll check in again at a later stop.
